View a selection of images as City continued preparations for our Etihad Stadium clash with Manchester United.

Gareth Taylor’s side welcome Marc Skinner’s team in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Saturday 23 March for a 12:30 (UK) kick-off.

We will be aiming to enhance our title credentials with an 11th straight league win during the clash, while the visitors will be looking to boost their Champions League hopes with three points.

It all points to a potentially enthralling occasion at the Etihad with a bumper crowd expected for a second straight season.

As City and United played out an exciting 1-1 draw in last season’s WSL meeting at the stadium, a record crowd of 44,259 supporters witnessed Laura Coombs’ second-half header cancel out leah Galton’s opener.

Tickets are still available to purchase ahead of the latest showdown between the teams, with adults priced from £10 and Under-18s from just £5.

As the next instalment of the historic fixture comes into focus, we were working hard at the City Football Academy.

Ahead of the session, City’s players were wearing ‘March of the Day’ t-shirts to promote the upcoming fundraising event for the MND Foundation taking place across 22 to 24 March.

A core of 16 ex-footballers will embark on a 175 mile walking route between Bradford City Football Club and Liverpool, visiting 17 other stadiums along the way.
